I'm scared!!

Ok... I have this friend that is in the National guard band, he's been in it for a little over a year now. He gets all kinds of cool benefits and clarinets! They just got him the Elite that he's been wanting forever... which I don't necessarily agree with personally. :P

Anyway... I'm still in college, I will graduate next year, but prolly go on to grad school (maybe in librarianship). And I'm thinking... maybe I'll join. What beats money for playing in the band once in a while (cuz it isn't full time) and a free clarinet of my choice? If I choose bass, or contra or whatever, I get it. Plus I would get all kinds of bonuses... and my credit card definately needs the paying off.

It's not too much of a commitment. It might be 2 years min., or 4 years, which doesn't bother me that much, cuz I will be in school too. And they would pay tuition! And I am pretty sure they are inactive duty. But boot camp is what scares me. I'm not too much in shape to begin with. I'm a lil chubby, and I could see myself dying while running a mile or something stupid. I almost feel like it would be a really tough version of marching band camp that would go on for 12 weeks. lol. Then I would miss my whole summer and my friends... then I would cry. :(

But I dunno, with so many perks, it would be great. But I just feel really nervous. I want to find out more info about I guess.
